Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 125
Han Sui's Xiliang cavalry came and went in a hurry. This rapid attack did cause a lot of damage to Dong Zhuo's troops, but it's hard to say how much substantial damage it caused, because the cavalry In fact, this is the case. The enemy can be caught off guard by surprise, but when the enemy reacts, the damage of the cavalry will be greatly reduced.

And the key point is that Dong Zhuo's troops originally had a good ability to resist the cavalry under Dong Zhuo's training, but because they were hit by a surprise attack this time and could not react in time, the Xiliang cavalry also knew that if they were not in time If you accept it as soon as you see it, it is entirely possible to pay back all the results obtained at the beginning, so these Xiliang cavalry who are experienced in looting quickly left.

Dong Zhuo was busy reorganizing the army, putting out the fire, counting the casualties and losses, and re-consolidating the defense. Where there were loopholes in the defense, he had to find a way to make up for it. If they fight at a place with a weak defense, they will still be beaten in disgrace.

In fact, after this battle, Dong Zhuo also seemed to be able to see that the combat effectiveness of these Xiliang cavalry under Han Sui on the frontal battlefield was not that strong, and was even weaker than he had estimated before. Fighting is not enough for Dong Zhuo to make a judgment, and even if his judgment is correct, Dong Zhuo is still in a very passive state.

Obviously he was the one who came to attack the city, but now he is on the defensive side. Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo had some thoughts about not continuing to be a turtle, and at the same time, another plan came to his mind.

So he immediately ordered to stop repairing those defensive loopholes, and simply left them there, and then saw if the Xiliang cavalry could still get rid of these defensive loopholes when they came next time, because in fact this is a kind of positive force. If he repairs the defensive loopholes, then the Xiliang cavalry may open up new offensive lines when they attack again. Dong Zhuo can't say that there will be no other weak points in his defensive formation. Then At that time, it may still be the case like this time.

After all, as the defensive side, I am in a passive situation. If I defend too many and too wide areas, I will disperse the defensive forces and lose the center of gravity of the defense. When the time comes, the enemy will concentrate their forces to attack one place. It is not difficult to create a new breakthrough. .

So Dong Zhuo simply reversed his thinking and left these defensive loopholes. When you attack next time, will you choose to attack these obvious defensive loopholes, or open up a new defensive loophole?
It should be said that normal people will choose to use the existing defense loopholes to fight, so the Xiliang cavalry's offensive route will be limited to these few defense loopholes that have already appeared. Dong Zhuo only needs to attack the rear of these defense loopholes. If you arrange corresponding traps and defense depths, you will have the opportunity to attract the Xiliang cavalry to go deep alone, so that you have the opportunity to make dumplings for the opponent.

If the Xiliang cavalry came and went in a hurry under normal circumstances, they were completely confused and did not know where the opponent would come from. It would be really difficult for the defenders to deal with.

This time, there were a few defensive loopholes, but Dong Zhuo had the opportunity to use his tricks, pretending that he was slow to repair the defensive loopholes, and then lured the Xiliang cavalry to continue to attack from these few defensive loopholes. In fact, it is a defensive loophole, but it has become a defensive strength that can help Dong Zhuo defend.

As for whether the generals of the Xiliang cavalry can see through Dong Zhuo's plot, he is not afraid. On the one hand, the Qiang generals on the side of the Xiliang cavalry are often not so careful and capable of reverse thinking, and Dong Zhuo's plot is not afraid that the other party will see through it. , because the defense loophole is clearly there, if you are not willing to take the defense loophole, you must also find another defense loophole from other places, so that Dong Zhuo has time to redeploy the defense focus in actual combat.

The most important thing is that on the actual battlefield, the Xiliang cavalry saw a few obvious defensive loopholes. They rushed in from there before and took advantage of it. Even if the superior general warned them that they might be cheating, but these Can the Xiliang cavalry themselves control it?Will you really believe in and strictly implement the general's requirements, and not take the route where these defensive loopholes are located?

In this way, in fact, no matter whether the other party knows that this is Dong Zhuo's scheme or not, the final result will most likely take the route where these defense loopholes are located. This is an unavoidable weakness in human nature, even if it knows that there may be a trap , but there will always be some fluke mentality, especially those who have taken advantage of some small advantages before, and there will be inertial thinking, thinking that they can always take advantage of these small advantages, and in the end they may lose the big because of small losses, and eventually lose more stuff.

This is actually very obvious in gambling. Many gambling games or traps will give someone some sweetness first, and then set up traps step by step to let him fall into it, thinking that he can control the situation and that he is luck Better than anyone else, I thought I could keep winning, and I wanted to win more after I won a little bit, but I was led into a huge trap by my own greed. In the end, I not only gave back all the initial wins, but also paid a considerable amount. Big price.

Dong Zhuo took advantage of this at this time, so it can be regarded as a very clever conspiracy. In fact, Dong Zhuo has never used this kind of strategy in the past. Although Dong Zhuo looks very reckless, But in fact he is still very smart, his ability to lead troops to fight is very strong, and he can use some good strategies, but he also has many very obvious weaknesses in character, and he can't avoid these weaknesses, so he can't avoid them Like many people, they are going into the trap arranged by fate.

Just like the trap he wanted to arrange for the Xiliang cavalry at this time, he himself might be walking into a trap that fate arranged for him at some point.

It’s just that our life is often like this conspiracy set up by Dong Zhuo. We can clearly see some so-called shortcuts in life like defensive loopholes, which are always there to tempt you and make you feel I can be luckier and smarter than others, and I am a person favored by fate. As long as I take this shortcut, I will only get benefits. Even if there are really traps behind, I believe that I can avoid them. Man will conquer nature.

But the reality is that most people are unable to resist these so-called shortcuts in life, and finally fall into a trap that is beyond redemption, and maybe the real most correct path and the most time-saving path are those that seem The most clumsy way.

Delusion to take shortcuts, delusion to overtake corners, after all, there is a price to pay!
